One suggestion: reducing the number of applications started when kde starts
-additionally to the /opt/kde/share/autostart/ create a directory /opt/kde/
share/dontautostart/ and move all desktop files you don't need from 
autostart/ to dontautostart/

And another thought: konqys memory usage can grow quite high when browsing the 
web and having a lot of tabs open. Since free() doesn't give the memory back 
to the OS, the memory stays used even if you close all the tabs. So from time 
to time it helps to really terminate some konqy processes (as opposed to 
reusing preloaded ones).
